7.1.2 iOS update...

Re: 7.1.2 iOS update...

@AC -

"7.1.2 iOS update...

required a manual reboot (the progress bar never completed). On two iPhone 4S and a 5C.

Recovered fine, but not good."

Thanks for the experience, glad I didn't do the update this morning. I'll keep an eye on the update. I always backup the phone first and do the update via iTunes on the computer so hopefully I can restore if the update fails, but I did manage to have a 3GS brick while updating (Apple store replaced straight away thankfully) so I'm always nervous.

Re: 7.1.2 iOS update...

Updated a Mac, an Apple TV, an iPad and two iPhones (one OTA, one wire to computer) without a single problem, so mileage is clearly variable.

As a general rule of thumb I always do a backup and then reboot of any device I'm about to update before beginning the process, so this may be why I didn't have any trouble. Actually, except the Apple TV as there's nothing to back up, it just gets a reboot.

Re: 7.1.2 iOS update...

Started the updater after freeing the required gig or so (update itself is about 25MB, so I'd reason it backs up locally). Updater hung. Resorted to a reset after checking this article's comments. Rebooted just fine, palms a little sweaty rebooting mid-update. Heart rate subsided. Side effects not mentioned in release notes.
